Handling Stolen Goods Practice Exam

Session length

1 / 20

What is required regarding D's awareness to have 'received' the goods?

D must be aware that he has possession or control.

Receiving the goods hinges on a mental element: the person must know that they have possession or control of them. That awareness is what makes the act a receipt, not mere physical contact with the items. If D does not realize that he has the goods or that he can exercise control over them, the offense isn’t made out. The requirement does not demand knowing the exact source of the goods; that goes beyond what’s needed. So, the key point is that D must be aware that he has possession or control of the goods.

D's awareness is irrelevant.

D must be unaware of possession.

D must know the exact source of the goods.
